A great one, as long as they have medical supervision and an okay with their doctos on doing normal activities, they'll still be able to have a great safe life as long as they don't get depressed and pessimistic.

There will be restrictions and difficulties and probably alot of frustrations. They will need some assistance with activities of daily living which can be hard to accept.They must be adaptable to their declining health because getting angry will accomplish nothing. There will be life style changes and with hope a satisfing life,

I'm buzzing along at 22%. It's been lower, had one report at 12%. I had some rough times to begin with but I got over it. You do have to take care of yourself and get a lot of rest.

The website attached is the best source of information I have found.

e-mail me if you have questions.

My grandmother has been living with 20% of the normal heart capacity for 25 years. She was diagnosed when she was 48, after a heart attack. She has to avoid strenuous physical activity like running, jumping, and dancing, and she has to be monitored once a month, but other than that, her life is pretty normal.
Her doctor told her that it helped a lot that she was slim. Not being obese or overweight improves the quality of life, since there is no additional strain on the heart.
